About the FIBArk Whitewater Festival:
The FIBArk boat races started June 19th, 1949 when six boats entered the Arkansas River in Salida, Colorado on a treacherous 57-mile run to Canon City through the vertical cliffs of the Royal Gorge Canyon. This Classic Downriver Race is still the longest whitewater race in the United States.
Salida became the birthplace of whitewater sports in the United States and FIBArk is celebrating its 61st year with a historic three-day weekend event that has now turned into almost an entire week of river and community activities. Two bicycle races, quilting, beer tasting, air bands, karaoke, windsurfing, jell-o wrestling, burrow racing and Art in the Park were additions made through the 80s, and in 1991 a Rubber Duck Race was introduced as a fundraiser for the Salida Chamber of Commerce. FIBArk is a 'Cleaner Greener Festival' that encourages responsibility and stewardship of the environment.
Lubriphonic performs Friday, June 19 from 5:30 PM-7: 30 PM (outside) and at 10 PM at the Salida Steam Plant Theater ($10 cover).
